Join Melissa Covarrubias, behavioral health counselor at the Center for Healthy Living (CHL) on Purdue’s West Lafayette campus, for a Healthy Boiler workshop focused on financial stress. The workshop, “Decreasing Financial Stress,” is from noon to 1 p.m. ET on Sept. 8.
“Financial stress can affect us physically, emotionally and mentally and can make us feel like we have no control,” Covarrubias says. “High levels of financial stress can present itself through physical symptoms such as headaches, anxiety, heart arrhythmia, depression, trouble sleeping and more.”
Worries about finances have been at the top of the list of stressors for individuals for many years. It came in as the No. 1 stressor across all age groups in the 2018 Everyday Health United States of Stress survey. In 2019, a Bankrate survey showed that more than half of Americans lose sleep over money troubles. And that trend continues – Americans are anxious about their financial situation.
During the workshop, attendees will learn:
- How to create an effective budget.
- The effects of financial stress on overall health.
- Community resources that can be helpful.
Those interested should register by Sept. 7 via the Healthy Boiler Portal. The registration link can be found under the “Healthy Boiler Workshops” section on the portal’s homepage. Hover over “Decreasing Financial Stress” and hit “Submit” to register.
Questions about the workshop can be directed to the CHL at 765-494-0111.
